This weekend, it was revealed that the server send rate for Black Ops 4 was set to 20hz, a third of what they were during the beta. Treyarch has responded.

Some people were worried that Black Ops 4’s lack of a single player campaign would hurt the game’s sales. Those people were evidently very wrong.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is out today, and Activision and Treyarch did something courageous. Like Apple removing the headphone jack from its phones, Treyarch removed the single player campaign to focus on what they did best: deliver white-knuckled, hearth-thumping multiplayer. They’ve also doubled down on Zombies, and gone all in on Battle Royale, possibly giving players the best Battle Royale of the generation – or at the very least, the best militaristic Battle Royale. Sorry PUBG!

The game ditches the traditional single player element to deliver on three key pillars: The traditional multiplayer, a collection of Zombies campaigns, and of course, the new Battle Royale mode, Blackout. While there’s no traditional single player campaign, that doesn’t mean there’s no single player content

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is out this week, bringing the anticipated sequel’s almost entirely multiplayer shenanigans to PC, PS4 and Xbox One. If ever there was a case for going digital, then Black Ops 4 is it.

Call of Duty without single-player? It's not a devolution, but an adaptation to the changing times and demands of the market, says Call of Duty" Black Ops IIII's studio heads.

Call of Duty is getting their hands dirty with their own Battle Royale mode called Blackout, and it's retaining the core shooting and ridiculoous weapons to create something that looks rather special.

Next week is going to be like a French McDonalds if massacres were on the menu: A battle royale with cheese. With Spider-Man launching tomorrow and Destiny 2: Forsaken bringing justice to an untamed frontier, Activision’s planning to steal eyeballs with a preview of its Blackout mode in a few days.
